I am getting quite a few run time errors and few programs lock up on me and get error message that the program is gonna have to close...What is causing these run time errors? I have tried uninstall and reinstall and that hasn't fixed the problem. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Run time errors can be caused by various different sources. Would you post the exact errors here please? If you have a chance to report the problem to Microsoft via there problem reporting system, please do so and check to see if they give a "info here" link.

Thanks

How old is the computer?If more than two or three years old have you ever changed the cmos battery?

The time issue:Download Atomic Clock Sync freeware utility and it will adjust the time issue.http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/Once you set it up you can have it start with Windows and adjust the time daily if you want to. I have mine set to only use when I want it, not to be automatic but it's your choice.

Not an old computer ...New motherboard just a couple months old. Thats what is really strange cuz my computer keeps time and not slowing down...If the time was slowing down that would be the first thing I would do is to change the battery...

Is the message about the time not being syncronized what is causing the run time errors?

"The time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for 49152 seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable time stamp. The system clock is unsynchronized."

Well, it seems that one was.

"Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 00508D7B7D3C. The following error occurred:

The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server."

Those two may be related.

The semaphoretimeoutperiod has expired.

This is the way in which XP reports that they were unable to renew a DHCP lease.DHCP difficulties might be due to an over-tightly configured firewall, so try again with the firewall off. If that cures the problem, then you know for sure that you need to reconfigure the firewall for DHCP.

I doubt that this is the cause of the programs crashing - but this will renew your DHCP connection manually.

Please check for other errors in the Event Log. You can do this by clicking on the categories in the left hand column (Application, Security, and System) and then checking the errors in the right hand column. Look for errors that occur around the time of the program crash.
